It was a LOT of fun doing this restoration. A lot of frustration, but a lot of fun!

Better than watching most tv shows

Quality video with thorough details, nicely done! Glad you caught that cracked/ broken bearing before reassembly. The sandblasted parts look terrific. Appreciate the shout out, glad to help where I can. 🇺🇸🚜👍

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Thanks, Hyatt! Glad you are enjoying and thank you for being such a big part of the project. Stay tuned - the NEXT video (uploading now) we make some serious headway!

Great vidio.

Thanks, Ken!

As always...Great job and well explained.

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Thank you, Richard!

[@craigrasnic4178]

Another awesome video buddy. I tried to order a complete carb rebuild kit fro CaseIH and the actually told me to call Steiner or yesterday’s tractors because through the dealership it would be $279

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Thanks, Craig! Yes, the dealer has become OUTRAGEOUS in prices. I think they are trying to phase out a lot of parts for these tractors simply because they want folks to buy new tractors. All comes down to money, I suppose.

Great vid, really like the antique oil can vid🤪

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

That was my grandfather's oil can. Been around a long time!

Nice this restoration is going good

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

So far so good!

Hello Kenny, Have you ever heard of a company called Motion Industries, I could always rely on them to find me a Bearing or Seal for older Equipment when I was a service tech on the road. Take Care and be Safe Bud👍

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Yessir - I have heard of motion. Actually, a friend of mine highly recommends them as well. Sometimes, though, when you can find some nice NOS bearings for a good price it is worth picking up. A lot of times they come in their original tin cans, too!

[@ihus9950]

@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch I agree with you on NOS parts if there available. 👍

[@donaldwallace7934]

I enjoy your videos of the H project Kenny! I am going to be replacing the felts and seals on the axle carriers on my H. I noted the part numbers here, but may I ask where you ordered them from? Thanks !

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Thanks, Don! Glad you enjoyed. The seals themselves I ordered from Amazon, or eBay I believe (they are available from either resource). They are also available from your Case IH or aftermarket dealers (Steiner, Yesterday's Tractors, etc.)... The felts are available through Case IH, and also from Steiner or possibly Yesterday's Tractor. Aftermarket vendors are usually less expensive than the dealer. Don't forget the seal retainer gaskets - you can buy or make them yourself.

[@donaldwallace7934]

Kenny Kizzle Rusty Nutz Ranch Thanks Kenny! I hope you and your wife has a safe and enjoyable trip to Colorado. I love it there myself! I go to Durango, CO most of the time, but I have been to other areas, like Estes Park.

Pretty soon we will have a roller!

Where are the seal and gasket P/N?

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

They are in the video description. I had to edit it last night and add them in - I am still figuring out this new computer. Thanks for your patience!

[@kenthawkins2418]

👍

[@hturbo1007]

I have a question for you. I'm getting a little oil in my break on my H, would it be the seal that you just installed, or is there a seal around the shaft that could be leaking?

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

It could be both. It is likely the brake seal around the drum - I will show this seal in the next video.

[@hturbo1007]

@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch thanks

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

@@hturbo1007 no problem. Video will be posted tonight.

[@scotthanson7888]

Why can't you heat the bearing in the oven ? Do you want to live to see your honeymoon or something.

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Something like that! Ha ha

[@ralfie8801]

Kenny Kizzle Rusty Nutz Ranch You could always pick up an old hot plate to heat bearings with at a yard sale. Keep yer eyes open for one Kenny!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

@@ralfie8801 That's not a bad idea! A 30 second heating cycle with the torch and it drops right onto the axle. Not a big deal.

[@ralfie8801]

Kenny Kizzle Rusty Nutz Ranch Yes, but I've always been discouraged from heating bearings directly with a flame because of the risk of accidentally overheating the cage that separates the rollers. It's not really a problem with larger bearings like in this video,, but with a small bearing it's a definite possibility. Using a hot plate, or the wife's oven will completely avoid the problem. I got some crossways looks when I used our oven to bond a new fiber disc to a PTO clutch on a Case 448 garden tractor one time. But a hot plate wouldn't have done that job either, it required baking for almost an hour at around 400 degrees if I remember right.

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

@@ralfie8801 very true, sir! Large bearings are easy to heat with a torch, as you said. I can definitely see how small bearings would present an issue. I would be dead meat if I tried to heat a bearing or any tractor part in our oven, that's for sure!
